Chicken halves wrapped in bacon and glazed with a sweet bbq sauce. Delicious little grilled appetizer!
BBQ Chicken Littles
I originally tried these at a small-town gas station. They were serving these bacon-wrapped chicken skewers for lunch - and they were delicious! I came home and had to re-create them on my grill... and of course, I had to make them even better by letting them dry brine and caramelizing a sweet and sticky bbq sauce on the outside. Everyone is going to love these!

Made these today on an Old Smokey 22" smoker. A very big hit with the family!
We made these and they are delicious!!!! We put the dry rub on the day before we smoked them and I partially cooked the bacon before wrapping. Taking them to a football Sunday Funday and I am sure they’ll be a hit!!!!!
Did your Chicken Littles for a recent barbecue we had. They were absolutely delicious! We’ll be doing them again for sure. Thank you for sharing the recipe.
